Industry professional new to research seeking help with OpenReview activation and vouching [D]

Hi everyone,

I’m an industry professional working in data platform engineering, and I’m just getting started in research. I tried creating an OpenReview account, but my profile is awaiting activation.

OpenReview asked me to have a supervisor, coauthor, or colleague with an active profile and a confirmed institutional email vouch for me. The process involves adding my profile ID to their profile’s Relations section, saving it, and clicking the vouch button next to my name.

If anyone here that would be willing to help, I’d appreciate it.

I’d also welcome advice from other industry researchers who have gone through this process without an established academic network. How did you get started and get your profile activated?

Thanks for any help or guidance!
